SITUATION REPORT Drought Response September 15, 2016

GENERAL CONTEXT The ongoing food security crisis in the country, together with aftermath effects of El Nino including flooding and disease outbreaks, continues to affect the lives and livelihoods of 9.7 million Ethiopians, according to Government figures. Overall food security remains severely affected until the upcoming Meher harvest season in November, with the resulting impacts on livelihoods, nutrition and health still being felt by high numbers of affected people during this critical period. Save the Children is supporting 126 stabilisation centres managed by the Ministry of Health to ensure a network of life-saving services in the worst affected areas, and has recently conducted a review of them under the essential standards project. The country office has also successfully distributed meher seed for 85,894 households (515,364 estimated populations) across drought affected intervention areas, amounting to 1,853MT with a value of around 3.5 Million USD and is currently undertaking post distribution monitoring.

Government and humanitarian partners need to sustain their scaled-up response to continue providing food assistance to some 9.7 million people in the second half of the year, while rates of malnutrition remain high and show steady increases in MAM in some areas. The National Meteorological Agency cautions about the consequences of floods due to heavy rains across the north and the likelihood of poor rains in the southern (Deyr) part of the country in the coming two months. Meanwhile, access constraints in some parts of the country are impacting the timely distribution of relief food and WFP reporting only 45% of Round 6 (July) has been distributed to date.

1 OCHA reports that internal displacement due to flooding caused by heavy kiremt rainfall and resource-based inter-communal conflicts in some areas increases humanitarian needs, while a substantial $22m Water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) response is crucial to contain the increasing cases of acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) outbreak. Government and humanitarian partners are prioritizing AWD response in line with the mid-year review of the 2016 HRD and the operationalized ‘National Preparedness and Response Plan for AWD. See sitreps for ETH-fl-16 and ETH-ep-16 for more information on flooding or AWD responses.

OVERVIEW OF THE RESPONSE BY SECTOR

In support of the overall response coordinated by the Government of Ethiopia, Save the Children is implementing a multi- sectoral drought emergency response programme in over 60 woredas in Somali, Afar, Amhara, SNNP, and Tigray Regions.

Nutrition and Health The National admission rate of Acute and Severe Malnutrition in the month of August, 2016 shows a slight decrease from being in stable in the previous three months as per the ENCU reports. Mainly Amhara and Oromia regions had low reporting rate and also with fewer cases were admitted unlike others. However, others in stable trend of admission except Somali with an increasing trend.

We have conducted supportive supervision in the aim of assuring the quality and status supported stabilization centers we support in Amhara, Tigiray , Afar , SNNP and Somali regions . During the visit a total of 87 health centers providing SAM case management services have been addressed for in service quality assessment as well as internal staff capacity.

During the reporting month in 167,984 and 33014 of Children less than five month and PLWs were screed in for their nutritional status in our operational woredas. 1167 children has been admitted and treated for severe acute malnutrition in the respective nearby nutritional rehabilitation centers. A total of 6627 under five children and 2117 PLWs with moderately malnourished cases were linked to the existing WFP supported TSF program. Apart from SAM and MAM case identification and treatment a total of 2,792 PLWs and caretakers of children under two years old were supported under IYCF-E component of nutrition responses.

While delivering the above mentioned services we have also strengthened 170 and 28 OTP and SC sites respectively across the operational areas. The key components provided are: enhancing the capacity of GoV health workers as well as handed out essential drugs and equipment.

Food Security & Livelihoods (FSL) The past month have seen a number of evolving humanitarian situations in the region and Save the Children teams have been busy responding. Save the Children has been implementing different emergency projects to respond for a range of drought induced disasters. As a result, Save the Children supported agricultural interventions in response to drought include seed distributions and agricultural technical assistance, supplementary animal feed, animal health programs, relief food aid and cash transfer. As a result, this month about 13, 136 needy people benefit from these interventions. Overall, the total number of our beneficiaries reached so far to about 43, 9288 people.

The overall rainfall performance in most Belg and Kiremt benefiting areas of Ethiopia was normal and above normal. As a result, the food security situation is expected to be improved even though there is a gap in nonfood requirements. However, seasonal forecasts and a high likelihood of a La Niña occurring during the 2016 Deyr season suggest rainfall will likely be below average in southern and southeastern pastoral areas. This will likely lead to lack pasture and water sources deterioration of livestock body conditions, reduced livestock productivity, and below-average livestock prices. In these areas, food security may deteriorate beyond the outlook period, particularly if the 2017 Gu (March to May) rains are also limited by La Niña. Accordingly, Save the Children will continue seed distributions and agricultural technical assistance, supplementary animal feed, animal health programs, relief food aid and cash transfer.

Water and Sanitation Hygiene (WASH) As of August 2016 we have we have provided WASH support for 664,457 drought affected people in Ethiopia. This accounts for more than 10% of the national response and as circulated by WASH cluster 4W matrix more than all NGOs in the country.

However, due to stronger rains in most areas of the country, the demand for emergency water provision through trucking is reduced and our efforts have shifted to relevant timely need like increased demand of water treatment chemicals and rehabilitation of schemes affected by flood.

2 In line with that early warning, mitigation and preparedness measures including scaling up water harvesting, water treatment, sanitation and hygiene promotion, prevention and surveillance of communicable diseases, enhancing other health and nutrition interventions ought to be conducted to minimize the likely impacts of flood on lives and livelihoods. Accordingly Rehabilitation of water schemes, water quality testing, provision of water purification materials and sanitation and hygiene promotion works were the major activities in our intervention areas.

Education in Emergencies (EiE) Currently, in all the regions all the teachers are called for refresher training and the training is in progress. As per the MOE, the new academic year is going to commence on 28 September 2016 when the teachers’ training is completed. However, 28 September to 02 October 2016 is ear marked for the student discussion period, and the actual teaching- learning will begin on 03 October 2016. There is concern of AWD in all regions on school children.

Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) Case management is one of comprehensive CP approaches where children and families in emergency benefit from direct support and referrals among service providers. Thus, we are implementing various training packages including case management and alternative care in order to capacitate the field team and partner towards quality service provision for drought affected children in line with the Minimum Standards for CP in Humanitarian Actions. Consequently, 469 (141 female) people have been trained in Sitti, North Wollo and Wagmra zones of CPiE intervention areas. Provision of learning facilities, cascading trainings, back to school campaigns and undertaking the resilience sessions are activities scheduled for the forthcoming months. The CPiE interventions of Save the Children are having significant contributions in rehabilitating the distressed and displaced children in drought affected communities. Moreover, the CPiE interventions enable us to keep a remarkable number of students in schools as a result of provision of potable water and other learning facilities.

Child Safeguarding (CSG) In Bale Zone, child safeguarding orientation was given to 30 PHEM training participants by CSG focal person at Robe town

PROGRAMME OUTPUTS EAST HUB In of the region, the rain has continued and some communities are gradually rebuilding livelihood assets like livestock due to improvements in pasture availability. The price of livestock is also increasing gradually. This trend is expected to continue over the coming months. Though the situation still far from full recovery from the negative impacts of drought. Accesses to water has also improved coming to normal in many parts of the zone but clean water availability is still a challenge as some IDP community members still use stream waters.
